What, or who are they willing to lay their life down for?
There existed a void.
So big, so vast.
But this void was filled with lights, billions of them, each brighter than the other.
Sometimes they would broke to pieces, disappearing, dying.
And then there was us. We were nothing.
Our memories screaming, begging to be heard by our ears, but we were deaf.
Sometimes, we stole pieces of broken, dead lights, trying to become the light ourselves,
but we were selfish, thousands of us grabbing pieces that grew dimmer and dimmer.
And then, one of us would succeed, becoming light itself.
That was our goal, our only goal,
get the light,
hold it with all of your being,
and beg to become one.
I however, liked to observe the lights,
studying them,
seeing how they interacted with each other,
sometimes growing brighter or dimmer.
I followed two lights,
I got to recognize them, among millions of lights, I could tell these two apart.
I started to feel.
Happiness.
Joy.
Trust.
I began to hear, first their laughter, soon their whispers.
“I love you.” One would say to other, shining bright.
I began to understand.
After some time, appeared one more light, tiny, like a speck of dust,
I felt its first breath within my core, its first cry and laugh.
I watched as it grew bigger and brighter, walking along the two lights.
Trust.
Pride.
Content.
But one day, the small light started growing weak, I felt the two lights’ cries, felt their love, trying to comfort each other.
Small light grew bigger still, but it was so dim, always barely visible.
Small light grew angry, it would cry, weep, scream, ask why.
Why.
The two lights cried too, but never near the little one.
Fear.
Helplessness.
Numbness.
One day small light ran away, so far, I followed it.
Falling down.
Fear, pain, a cry.
Then nothing.
Emptiness.
It broke.
Gone.
The rest of us were here soon,
grabbing its dead pieces away.
It was wrong.
I held the pieces, trying to put them back together, I wanted to fix, save it!
But it...
died
Small light died-
Suddenly
lights,
them,
everything,
disappeared.
“Honey, he's here, he fell!!!”
I felt.. Fear. Pain, rushing through me.
Her hands around me.
“Alistair, I’m here.. Please wake up.”
The feelings I felt in the void were nothing compared to what I felt now.
I felt her pain, tears, but she was happy still, finding her son.
I open my eyes.
Brightness, everywhere.
The memories of my past lives, everything, rushing through me, like someone flipping pages of millions of books, all at once.
I screamed.
Alistair screamed.
“Alistair, are you in pain?!” Her eyes, so beautiful, filled with terror.
“Void.” I said, feeling my mouth, Alistair’s mouth, move.
“No honey, no more void, you’re safe, mom's here, dad's calling the ambulance..”
And I felt it.
Family.
Love, nothing but love, so pure, rushing through me,
and I smiled, feeling pain in Alistair’s,
now mine,
broken body.
I became the light.
Alistair.
Their son.
